Pourquoi les jeunes ne remplissent-ils pas leurs devoirs

Why young people don’t fulfill their responsibilities?

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more” Tony Robbins.

Responsibility is scary.

Responsibility is intimidating.

But Responsibility is giving back…

Life has bestowed upon us so many opportunities to flourish ourselves into beings with a contribution to the world, with a print into the events that form life.

Being a believer or not, we must all admit that we were gifted a power, the power of knowledge and free thought, the power to take decisions and perceive matters into our own hands. Those powers imply responsibility, towards ourselves, towards our nation, towards other human, and also towards other forms of life. As Dalai Lama so emphasized in every one of his speeches, one shall not live his life for himself, but for everything and everyone around him.

Talking about responsibility may take our minds into a little journey, as it is a tremendously vast value. Being responsible does not imply only doing what we are engaged in achieving, but also what we think is right.

We take responsibility for our own actions and for others as well, that if we don’t contribute on shaping the right decisions, even the ones we do not take ourselves.

The world stands disparaging the young and the less experienced, accusing them of not fulfilling their responsibilities, not standing up to their engagements. Many wonder if it’s an accusation based on any ground facts. I personally know it is true, but I mostly tend to wonder why?

Growing in a world where most of the adult figures escape their responsibilities gives a tendency to doubt the accuracy of the word responsibility, and its true importance among the living.

In my 21 years of living in this world I witnessed many people escaping their responsibilities. Sadam Hussein was waging a war against Iran in a time when his people only needed a leader to face the demoniac plans of the occident. George W.Bush putting the economical benefits of invading Iraq before the well being of his soldiers, whom included parents and sons and daughters. I’ve watched through the lying screens of our corrupted television, news being reported to create propaganda and wag chaos despite the repercussions it might have on a certain nation. And on the other side of that screen, half were applauding these massacres happening throughout the world, and the other half was buried in silence. I guess shame does burry you six feet underground. It is said that success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility, but despite this, people still escape their responsibilities, thinking they might succeed in what they think is greater than the well being of a whole nation and a whole universe.

Do I still wonder why the young and the less experienced do not fulfill their responsibilities? I guess not. But it still dazzles me that the human brain does not allow us to realize that these acts of war and irresponsibility are not the example to follow. These are not the values we want to be lead by.

Some may argue that despite the world’s influence, one must differentiate right from wrong, and responsible
